Has anyone grown carambola (starfruit) from seed?  I once saw a large, 
bearing tree in Sam Power's Santa Fe, TX hoophouse that was grown from seed. 
His wife Ginger started it from a grocery store fruit.  I have three kinds 
of small bananas, a pomegranate, three kumquats and a Mexican breadfruit all 
growing in my sunroom here in snowy No. Illinois.  I'd like to add a 
starfruit, but I don't know it's possible to keep it dwarf enough to fit 
indoors during our long winter.

Any experiences to share??
